The 10 Commandments Is Getting Rebooted, Because Not Enough People Saw Exodus, I Guess

The irony of this situation has to be that Sir Ridley Scott rarely edits his films just once. This is a man who has at least five versions of his masterpiece, Blade Runner. And he has gone on record to say that his initial cut of Exodus ran four hours long.

The thing about the Red Sea sequence is that it competes with several eye-popping visual events in the rest of the movie. Sir Ridley Scott embraces his epic blockbuster side when bringing the size and scope of the story of Moses to the big screen.

Why Christian Bale Doesn't Think Of Himself As A Movie Star

Exodus: Gods And Kings is only a couple of weeks away from release, and yet it can't seem to shake one of its biggest controversies. For once though, a Biblical film isn't making waves with its doctrine... it's making them with its casting.

Moses Would Be Branded As A Terrorist Today, According To Christian Bale

A religious movie without controversy is like a hockey game without a penalty. It’s technically possible, but it very rarely happens.

Christian Bale Thinks Moses Had These Mental Problems

Not too long ago, we thought that Interstellar was going to be one of the longest movie released this year. Not that there's anything wrong with a long movie, but depending on what you're going to see, your interpretation of what constitutes as "long" will vary.

That movie is Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods And Kings.

Over the past few months, the movie has been dealing with a bit of controversy due to this aspect - some moviegoers claiming "whitewashing" - and as a result representatives for the movie have had to explain why the casting was handled the way it was.
